Indian parliamentarian Raghav Chadha, from the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has proposed a strategy to leverage Elon Musk’s Starlink service in India to negotiate reduced tariffs with the U.S. This proposal was made in response to President Trump’s recent announcement of increased tariffs against India. Chadha argues that India should withhold approval for Starlink services in the country as leverage for negotiations on tariff rates. He believes this approach will encourage a more favorable outcome from the U.S. administration. Chaddha emphasizes his contention that Musk is heavily involved with the US government, and thus wielding influence over Trump’s actions.
